Availability of Dutton Lainson Freewheel Brake Winch and Ratchet Handle for DLB-Series Winch

Question

Question:

DL has a free wheeling version of the DL15721. It is the DL15761. Do you sell the DL15761? I would have the unit mounted to a portable aluminum base that would be chained back to the inner most D-rings of a toyhauler to bring in a 1000 lb boat on a 6 wheel dolly. I would have to use the optional ratchet handle to work the unit on the floor. thanks for any advice

We do sell the Dutton-Lainson Freewheel Brake Winch # DL15761. This winch combines the best of both worlds, allowing you to lift the latch so the gears can freespool or secure the handle with the latch to engage the brake.

The ratcheting handle for that winch is the DLB Series Brake Winch Ratcheting Replacement Handle # DL70347.

Mounting the winch as you have described will require a custom base, we do not have any winch bases that fit your description, and will need to be secured mounted to the trailer's frame for full support.

Normally trailer coupler height is around 17 inches, from the ground to the bottom of the coupler, and most hitch manufacturers design their hitches to work with a ball mount that will end up very close to this measurement. I am including a link to…

Answer 5

Yes, a trailer that is nose up can cause big problems. A level trailer is ideal and worth working toward for safety. The good news is that you can get the trailer almost exactly level with switching ball mounts. This is where an adjustable ball…

Answer 6

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could…

Answer 7

If the trailer is less than 1 inch off of being perfectly level either up or down then it will be perfectly fine. Having it slightly higher would be better because presumably the tongue weight of the trailer will pull it down a little. You could…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two…

Curt recommends the use of 250 ft/lbs of torque when tightening the nuts of their hitch balls with a 1 inch diameter shank like the part #C40034 that you referenced. The general rule is for a 3/4" shank tighten to 150 ft/lbs For a…
